Dom Jacobetti Jr.

Still the holder of the U.P. record for career points in boys basketball (2,140 ), Dominic Jacobetti Jr. was a four-year standout at Negaunee St. Paul.

A starter his entire career, Jacobetti was named all­conference four years in a row, All-UP three years in a row and All-State three years in a row. While play­ing for St. Paul, he helped lead the team to three dis­trict titles, two U.P. titles and in 1963, to the Class D State Final game, where they lost to Britton-Macon, 59-58. In 1965, his team lost to Pickford in the State Quarterfinal, but after the game a reporter came up to Jacobetti to tell him that he had broken the U.P. scoring record. He had no idea that he was even in the running.
